Been working on a longer post dealing with our Christmas vacation.
For now, the big news is the 24 inch quad core iMac that I’m sporting at work.
I kind of can’t stand winter right now. I think it’s likely because of the fact, that Mr. I is getting over and illness and L. is right in the middle of a nasty illness. Oh, and then there’s this mad dash to:
* Take pets to the vet.
* Get eye appointments.
* See the dentist.
This, of course, is in parallel with Christmas shopping - but there isn’t too much of that.
In other news, I was accepted as a speaker @ ConFoo.ca in Montreal March 2010 - should be interesting. I think L. is going to come with me and Mr. I will have an extended visit with his grandparents.
So as some of you probably saw from Facebook, I quit my job on Monday. I’m very excited - I’m going to spend the next 7/8 months focusing on my dissertation before I start clerking in September/October.
This leads to the quest for advice. I never owned a mobile phone until I started this job when I got a blackberry. They are going to let me keep my number but I need to get a new phone and figure out who to go with. Help! What should I do? I kind of want an iPhone but am not sure what the monthly costs are. Do you have to get a data plan to utilize all the apps etc. What other phones do people have? I know Thierry and Becky just got the google phones - how does that work? Any advice is appreciated.
I think many of you know this already, but I am expecting another baby this May! And we just found out today that it’s going to be, yep, another boy.
The genetic testing we had done went well also. He’s a-ok. Can’t rule out the PTSD this poor kid will have later in life when he realizes that we are his parents.
